Biology studies life in time and space, so far only found on Earth by humans.
Ethics studies man’s actions in terms of “good” and evil,” or “whether or not
- in the service of man and all mankind
- and the living nature around him,
- and – if desired – before the Creator whom we call ‘God’.

Bioethics
From the combination of biology and ethics, bioethics is born. We divide these by life form or phase
- Human sexuality and fertility
- The beginning of human life (the human embryo)
- Nutrition and health
- The end of human life
- ‘Green’ bioethics or ‘integral ecology’ (people and the environment)
- Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (UNESCO)
The first four are also relevant to medical ethics.
